Theatre Season Features the Musical “Ride the Cyclone”

 
The Truman Theatre season will continue with the quirky, edgy musical, “Ride the Cyclone,” Nov. 15-17.
 
Six teen chamber choir members meet their fate on a doomed roller coaster ride. In limbo, a mechanical fortune teller offers them a chance to return to life. As they face their fate, each character reveals their dreams, regrets and unique stories through catchy tunes and dark humor. This cult hit blends comedy, tragedy and enchantment, leaving audiences laughing, reflecting and feeling great about life.
 
Music, lyrics and book for “Ride the Cyclone” are by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. A fairly new work, the final version of the script was completed in 2023, and the show has developed a cult following on TikTok. Truman’s production is under the direction of student director Regan Bohanan.
 
Performances of “Ride the Cyclone” will take place in the Severns Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15-16, along with a matinee at 2 p.m. Nov. 17. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at boxoffice.truman.edu or at the theatre prior to each performance. For more information, contact boxoffice@truman.edu.
